Prologue

In a time long forgotten by history and man, there existed seven powerful items, created through unknown means, that summoned monsters from a parallel, shadow realm. These were in the hands of the greatest civilization that was in existence at the time, one held by its ruler, the other six to the council of high priests that aided the ruler. But, these powers quickly grew out of control and threatened to destroy not out that civilization, but the entire world. Their ruler, whose name has been lost to time, sealed this great power, but once the power had been sealed, peace did not last. The extra magick left after the sealing of this great power threatened the lives of the people of the land, so the ruler made the ultimate sacrifice. With his council dead, and the one person who could have held disaster at bay joining him in his sacrifice, chaos ruled the land, and when order was restored, no one remembered the events that had nearly destroyed them, or the brave and powerful ruler who had saved them all, or those closest to him…

Chapter 1

The moon's light fell around the sleeping girl, making it look like she was glowing. She tossed and turned in the throws of a haunting dream. Images of destruction of a place she knew all too well, but different from what she had seen of this place's destruction and fall. She gasped as she awoke, her long blonde braid glowing silver in the moonlight. What was that? She thought as one hand held her head, unable to get three images out of her head. A little girl, being run through with a sword she knew of, by a person she knew of. A tri-color haired boy in silver armor, burned to death and bleeding from a fatal slash to the throat. And herself, running herself through with a sword. She had no more time to ponder these things, as her laptop cheerfully announced that she had mail. AGAIN.

Unknown to the girl surrounded by moonlight, another girl, one who lived in maze of deathtraps and mysteries, had similar dream of destruction, only the place she dreamed of played on the edges of her memories. People running and screaming, and three great monsters in the sky destroying the building. A lone monster attacked them, but failed. She had no time to ponder these things either, but for different reasons. If I let my guard down, the shadows that trapped me in this place will claim me again, despite the light…

"So Yugi, when's your cousin gonna get here?" asked Joey. Yugi had invited them over so they could meet his cousin, who had come from Tokyo.

Yugi had been very secretive with all the information regarding his cousin. All he had said was that his cousin is a good duelist and that their duels can last up to 16 hours long. The only other thing he had mentioned was that his cousin wanted to be an archaeologist and go to the Valley of the Kings. "Actually my cousin arrived last night, but is still sleeping."

"It's nearly noon!" exclaimed Tea

"My cousin thinks it's insane to wake up before noon." stated Yugi as he went upstairs.

"Don't you think it's strange that he hasn't given us a name or even a hint about the gender?" questioned Tristan.

"You're just hoping for a cute girl who will date you," responded Joey, hoping Tristan would stop asking questions about his sister, Shizuka.

"We'll know soon even."

As they waited in the Game Shop with Yugi's Grandpa, they heard footsteps moving around upstairs, a sudden splash, followed several oaths in a fluent mix of Japanese and English. They, however, got the basic of what his cousin was saying. The cursing was followed by what sounded like a chase with a couple of crashes. Grandpa merely sighed and shook his head. Tea screamed "Aren't you going to stop them!"

"This is usual for them." he responded as Yugi came running down the steps followed by a girl in a lavender-purple tank top and matching shorts. She had long gold-blonde hair that was currently in a braid and blue eyes.

She laughed when she noticed that Joey and Tristan were drooling all over her. "Hi, I'm Serena Tsukino, Yugi's cousin," she said as she wrung out her braid over Yugi's head, since Serena was 5'2" and he was 5'0".

A wave of water fell from her braid, drenching Yugi. "What the hell was that for!"

"For that wake-up call you gave, you baka."

"I wanted you up so you could meet my friends."

"Could it have waited 'til later? I couldn't get any sleep 'cause my laptop kept beeping that I had mail."

"Why couldn't you have checked it this morning?"

"You've read the first Harry Potter book, right?" asked Serena. At the universal nod she continued. "My friend- ex-friend I should say- Amy is a whiz at computers so she rigged each e-mail I get from her or any one of my group of ex-friends to be a Howler, and they start yelling at me to go back to Tokyo if you don't open them after 30 seconds."

"Did you get them to stop?" asked Tea.

"They stopped when I changed my e-mail address at 3 in the morning."

"Why are to they want you to return to Tokyo?" asked Joey.

"They seem to think that I am unable to care for my self." answered Serena, her eyes darkening at that thought.

The room grew quiet with that statement. To break the silence, Grandpa said, "Well, why don't you two-"

"Go upstairs, dry off, and get dressed. Got it Grandpa." finished Serena as she began to climb up the stairs.

At his friends' surprised looks, Yugi explained, "It's something she got from her father's side of the family. She knows what people are going to say before they say it, and she also hears things before everyone else does."

Half an hour later, they were on their way to where ever they were going. They hadn't decided yet. Tea said the mall. Joey and Tristan said the arcade. Yugi couldn't decide. Serena suggested the museum, saying there was an exhibit on games there. So on to the museum.

While on the way to the museum, Serena felt something coming from Yugi's puzzle, something she hadn't felt It was a mixed feeling, of darkness and shadows and ancient power, tinged with the feel of a spirit, like it was bond to the item. That's strange; I never felt anything like this before Yugi completed it. Wonder what it means…?

End of Chapter 1

Note- The first chapter of my first multi-chapter story! I'm sending thanks to all those who reviewed my poems and short stories. For future reference, all stories I write and post will tie into this somehow else stated other wise. I tend to work on future stories and other things in my head rather than current ones, so if there are long spans of no life from my multi-chapter stories, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!
